I just came back from a lovely trip Along the Milky Way I stopped off at the North Pole To spend a holiday I called on dear old Santa Claus To see what I could see He took me to his workshop And told his plan to me You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town! He's making a list And checking it twice Gonna find out who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is coming to town! He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! Oh! You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town! He sees you when you're sleeping He knows if you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! Oh! You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming Santa Claus is coming Look out Santa's coming to town!
